Betty loved her family and her Lord and Savior. She was of strong Baptist faith and was active in a bible study fellowship where she taught women about the Word of the Lord. Betty was a strong-willed woman who loved her flower garden and had a great sense of humor. She was the family historian and instilled a great sense of work ethic in her children and grandchildren. Betty was a "force to be reckoned with" and she will be missed.

Carmel of O'Fallon for the loving care provided to Betty and her family. Betty will be laid to rest with beside her husband at Mt. Lebanon Cemetery.
